When feed items for feedapi is used, the feed item does not respect the format set to its nodetype. If the node is opened and then saved, the proper format is applied.

Better Formats works through FAPI so will only affect systems that submit forms via FAPI. I am not familiar with how Feed API works but if you goes directly through the node api then Better Formats will not have any effect on it.

I will look into this more but there probably is not anything BF can do about this situation. Any module that goes directly through the node api should let you pick what format you wish it to use when saving content so my first instinct is that this might be an issue for feed api.

FeedAPI use the normal Drupal functions to programmaticly save a node. However, Drupal core does not store a default format for content types so core does not have an option to set the format. This means that FeedAPI would have to have integration with BF or provide their own format selection process.
